Abstract
We consider the asymptotic behavior of semi-stable Markov processes valued in ]0,∞[ when the starting point tends to 0. The entrance distribution is expressed in terms of the exponential functional of the underlying Lévy process which appears in Lamperti's representation of a semi-stable Markov process.
